Company Asset should improve plenty for her return

Company Asset should strip fitter for last month’s reappearance 5.05 York

Considering Kevin Ryan’s filly didn’t come to herself until this time last year, she is entitled to improve plenty for her return at Carlisle 25 days ago, when she shaped well to finish fourth under topweight.

The daughter of Fast Company really thrived once she hit form last year, beating a subsequent winner on fast ground at Carlisle and running a blinder on her handicap debut at Doncaster, where she finished third in a field of 19 after racing away from the first two home. The winner was Nemoralia, who finished runner-up in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on her latest start.

Although Company Asset won’t reach those heights, it is early days for her off a mark of 80 on only her third handicap start, with the fast ground in her favour.

Nasimi could hardly have been more impressive on her debut 3.45 Newmarket

There was plenty of confidence behind Charlie Appleby’s filly before she made her first appearance at Haydock in May, but punters who backed her down to 15-8 must have had their hearts in their mouths when she crawled out of the stalls, went right (traded at 26 on Betfair) and was detached from the field for the first couple of furlongs.
